Short Description of Activity
Amanda and Adrian from MSI taught 3 Broads (1 Bro) and 11 San Juan Soles about fens while we planted sedge seedlings and put aspen mulch around them.
Reflection/Evaluation
A very fun and successful day! Ofir fen is 10,000 years old and has been being restored for 15 years. Such a stunning place at 11,000 feet elevation! I hope to do more with Soles. Young women interested in learning about the outdoors and being challenged.
